ray Teachers I.,beraiiy.

The bill requiring school directors and
controllers to pay teachers for the time
spent attending annual county institutes,
passed the House finally Tuesday. The
bill Is proper one and the only objection
that can justly beraised against 1t in Its
presensform is that the amendment limiting
the compensation to two dollars day fixes
the sum too low. The compensation
should cover the regular salary as well as
actual expenses OF teachers.
As matter Of fact there is no element
In community so generally deserving and
poorly appreciated as the school teachers
They have the present as well as the future
Of the country In their hands As they
are industrious, intelligent and deserving
the schools are prosperous and efficient,
and just in proportion as the schools are
perfect the community is safe morally and
hopeful intellectually. The churches are
efficient and necessary agents in moral re-
form movements, hut the schools lay the
foundation of moral as well as material
prosperity.
The reasons that recommend the law in
question to favorable consideration are nu-
merous and obyious. The teachers while
attending the institutes, are adding to their
qualifications to teach and multiplying their
usefulness when they return to their labors
That of itself should decide the question
af1lrmatively. But when to that is added
the other fact that the attendance is COM
pulsory and not voluntary, the injustice of
leaving them without compensation be-
comes apparent-Pdtriot

Hum anity's His.

Humanity's ills can only be measured by
humanity's wants-hence the wine press
OF wrath, so universally trodden by human
depravity, and from which flows into the
wine cup of human misery, which deprav-
ed humanity Graves to drink to the very
dregs, was founded by their own errors,
and is the work of their own folly. Mani
fold are ::the ingredients that add to the
gall of its bitterness. Legalized and licen-
sed debauchery are criminal links to chain
slavish misery to every heart. Incarnate
demons have their workshops IN every
suitable place for human prostitution,
spreading their nets at every corner. Tne
innocent once in their meshes, their ruin
is almost certainty. The lesson of ex-
perience once learned and the cup drained
its repi ition is but the result of the on
moving column to the common end.
Violation of law, "a natural impulse of
the heart,) against health. society, state, or
Deity contributes to the enormity of its
penalty, for which atonement must be
made through punishment or reconciliation,
either in time or in eternity Reform is on
the march, hut its progress is impeded at
every step. The path before it, on either
side, is strewn with human wrecks. Every
where the distractions are fortified by
human depravity. Everywhere the wheels
of public councils are clogged by the cry
ing demands of folly against reform.
Naturally humanity seeks its own degre.
dation and exerts every influence to main.
tam It's sinking condition. But there is a
sphere of nobler, higher social relation,
aspiring to holier emotions. A higher
plane of life and morality; mountain of
peace and happiness, a source of joy and
glsdness; free from communicating guilt
and crime, without accusing conscience
and sublime; to which the Savior of men
will lift al. the world who come to Him.
Study but the golden rule and comply
with its requirements and you will already
have won the battle of life, found the true
aim of your mission and formed connect.
ing link that will rally and raise fallen
humanity to higher and better destiny.

Important to Insurers.
A DECISION By THE SUPREME COURT ooNoERN-
ING ASSIGNED POLICIES.

Judge Paxton delivered an opinion in
the Supreme Court Monday which is of
general interest and importance, the case
involving a question which frequently
arises in the life insurance business and
which has never before been decided in
this State. Bertolet Grant took out a 3d.
900 policy in the Union Benevolent Mutual
Aid Society OF Pennsylvania, in March,
1882, and shortly afterwards assigned 1t to
his brother-in-law, Jacob Kline, to whom
he owed about $500. In addition to this
$500 loan, Kline had paid out about $4OO
for insuring Grants life in other compan-
les. which had become insolvent, so
that his insurable interest amounted
to about 800. Grant died in November,
1888, and the society paid the insur-
ance money to Kline. Grants admin
istrators then brought snit against him
TO recover back the amount, less his debt
and the premiums he had paid, claiming
tnat the debt was SO disproporuoned to
the amount OF the insurance as TO make
the latter wagering contract The lower
Court decided against them and the Su-
preme Court affirms the Judgment.

Fearing that the central railroad route
would be adopted by the wilkes-Barre &
Western r. II. Co., Bendertown walked up
last Thursday night and had a railroad
meeting. No doubt impressed with the
idea, las goes Bendertown so goes the
Union," and why not the railroad ?
But the Mountain Echo said last week,
that Jamestown allowed others to make
hay while they slept" and Bendertown
may also realize that nocturnal darkness is
poor time to make railroad hay. Mean
while there seems to be fearful and ex-
citing suspense concerning these competing
routes.
Tommy Chaplin, of Benton, dentist, is
In critical condition.
Frank Baker, young man of Benton,

A large assortment of one and two-horse
wagons, buggies and other vehicles of q
substantial makeup, can be seen and
bought at Willie Appleman's shop at Ben
ton. For beauty and style they are not
easily surpassed.
The manufacture of farming implements
would, we think, be safe and profitable
investment at Benton.
The question Of all Importance aud up
permost in everybody's mind at the mt ct
ing of every gathering is, Where will the
railroad gop" The company will settle
that question by consulting its best interest
1t docs seem rough that community

dreds of teams daily pass through the toll
gate. The W. & w. railroad via Cambria
will settle the turnpike toll
A spirited contest for the various county
positions may be looked for, from the tone

and pen, as weapons for assault, battery
and defence, enter the fight at an early day.

'How do you like Bernhard ?" he asked.
"Well, l don't exactly know; I've only seen

Charles Dudley Warner is represented in
the April Harper's by the first article of a
short series Of mexican Papers" What
ever Mr.. Warner touches 10 certain to be-
come attractive, and from so fertile sub
ject as this we shall expect rare treat, es-
pecially as he begins by saying, "To me
Mexico is one of the most interesting coun-
tries have seen, and so novel on every
hand that enjoyed in way that which is
dsagreeable almost as much as that which
is pleasing. 1t is novel, and yet, now and
again, strangely familiar; for in its life it is
a patchwork sort Of country, with de-
graded civilization, constantly suggesting
in secondhand way half dozen other
countries and peoples" This paper de-
scribes the journey from El Paso to the
City of Mexico, and sbounds in bright,
flashing pictures and droll turns of de-
scription like the following, "At all the
stations are crowds of boys, men and wo-
men, who offer for sale oranges, sweets,
and queer looking fruits which are out of
season and do not taste good, and they
make tremendous clamor. AT Irapuato
we bought q little basket of this fruit :for
fifty cents, not ripe but still sweet. The
basket was solidly filled with cabbage
leaves and disposed on top neatly, so as
to hide the leaves, were couple OF
dozen berries. These people have nothing
to learn of Northern marketmen. We
have struck very old civilization" And
again; "We passed through the famous
deep cut or canal of Nochistongo. This
cut was first made by the Indians as a
drain for the valley People have wonder
ed what they did with the excavated
earth, acquaintance with the Indians sug-
gests the explanation that they kept most
of it on their persons. They are no longer
attached to the soil as poems, but the SOIL
Is attached to them, and most of them are
dirty enough to be called real estate"

The entertainment given at Normal hall,
Friday evening Of last week by the Model
school children, was decided success
The drama was the best yet selected and
its rendition showed thorough and SYSTEM
attic training on the part of the in
structors. The music, under the di-
rection of Prof. Niles, was very entertain
ing. The attendance was not as large as
should have been. but the condition Of the
weather and the many entertainments pre-.
ce1ing this one was the probable cause.
There IS some talk Of the Model school CIV
ing another entertainment in the near fu-
ture when it is to be hoped that the house
will be filed to overtlowing, as the proceeds
will be used IN furnishing apparatus in the
rooms of the new building, for the better
instruction Of the children.
